American Ginseng and the Idea of the Commons
by Mary Hufford
Reprinted from Folklife Center News 19, nos. 1 and 2, Winter-Spring
1997
http://www.memory.loc.gov/ammem/cmnshtml/essay1/
Tending the Commons: Folklife and Landscape in Southern West Virginia
incorporates 679 excerpts from original sound recordings and 1,256
photographs from the American Folklife Center's Coal River Folklife
Project (1992-99) documenting traditional uses of the mountains in
Southern West Virginia's Big Coal River Valley. Functioning as a de
facto commons, the mountains have supported a way of life that for
many generations has entailed hunting, gathering, and subsistence gardening,
as well as coal mining and timbering. The online collection includes
extensive interviews on native forest species and the seasonal round
of traditional harvesting (including spring greens; summer berries
and fish; and fall nuts, roots such as ginseng, fruits, and game) and
documents community cultural events such as storytelling, baptisms
in the river, cemetery customs, and the spring "ramp" feasts using
the wild leek native to the region. Interpretive texts outline the
social, historical, economic, environmental, and cultural contexts
of community life, while a series of maps and a diagram depicting the
seasonal round of community activities provide special access to collection
materials.
